What is the purpose of using moveTaskToBack() method in android?

Question

I am using moveTaskToBack() method in my activity.

When I am pressing back button the activity still is visible. The back key does not work. What did I do wrong here

Answer 1

If you call super it triggers the default implementation of back button, which just finishes the current activity. Try removing the line super.onBackPressed(); and then see if the new behavior is what you expect.
